Re: VPN connection cannot resolve host name

OK, so now do an nslookup for a local address, an Internet address, and a
remote network address and see which server is being queried for each
lookup. A real common way to overcome this is to put the remote network DNS
server as the primary and your ISP's DNS as the secondary. Then when the VPN
is disconnected DNS will fall back to the second entry, and when connected
use the remote.
